In an activity, Linda collected 224 stamps. She collected 4 times as many stamps as Penelope.
- How many stamps did Penelope collect?
- How many more stamps did Linda collect than Penelope?
(a)
Number of stamps that Penelope collected = 1 u
Number of stamps that Linda collected = 4 u = 224
4 u = 224
1 u = 224 ÷ 4 = 56
Number of stamps that Penelope collected
= 1 u
= 56
(b)
Number of stamps that Linda collected more than Penelope
= 224 - 56
= 168
Answer(s): (a) 56; (b) 168
